Princess Tea Party Cake

For her very special 5th Birthday party, with all of her friends, my niece decided that she wanted a "Princess Tiana Tea Party." I surprised her with this teapot cake, which include some of Princess Tiana's favorite colors and lots of edible glitter! The cake itself is a strawberry cake, made with fresh cut strawberries, and a light cream cheese filling. The candles are set into purple gumpaste rosebuds.

Garden Themed Cake

This chocolate cake with chocolate-hazelnut filling was an homage to my brother's home garden. It includes carrots, heads of lettuce, some eggplants, and two steaks of tomatoes. It also sports the white picket fence that surrounds his garden, the gnome I gave him for his birthday last year, and naturally a big bottle of DeerStopper®.

A Farmy 1st Birthday



This cake was for my daughter's 1st birthday. Her party was farm themed, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. In addition to the party cake was her own personal smash cake.

Logo Birthday Cake



This cake was for my dad's 66th birthday. The cake was designed to look like his company logo. You can see the actual logo at www.messinawildlife.com. I left off some of the detailing in order to give the cake a cleaner look and still be able to fit the text that I wanted. The cake itself is a dark chocolate with a chocolate-hazelnut and fresh strawberry filling.

Zebra Print Fun!



This cake was made for my cousin's 18th birthday. She requested animal print, and I thought this was fun, yet sophisticated. I made the cake from scratch, a moist chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. The outside was then covered in white fondant. I used premade black fontant, cut into strips to achieve the zebra print, then colored some fondant pink for the bow and circle. I formed the bow using 1 strip of pink. I made a freehand stencil for the monogram, which I then traced out on the black fondant, and rolled some white balls for the "Flintstone" pearl look around the bottom.
